Thread: Limited flare/plastics removal

    Limited flare/plastics removal

    I finally got sick of the limited flares and decided it was time to remove them. The two panels on the driverside flapping in the wind when ever I got on the freeway was the final straw. Anyways, removing these is not for the faint of heart. There were pieces of plastic clips flying everywhere during the removal. I ended up doing what a lot of people over on ih8 did with their 80 series and bedlined the panels.

    All in all, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Now I just need to trim the front bumper up to match the new lines and I am starting from scratch on a new rear bumper next week.

    Not sure what happened, if you search for "durabak" the thread comes up and you can kinda see its contents. But then you just end up here. With no content...

    Not sure whats going on, I noticed a post to the volvo fan thread did the same thing.
